QUAND L'UTILISER Cell phone and internet based inventory management tool. Remote users can enter demands
(patients) and supplies using a basic cell phone. This information is available for review at varying
levels using a standard internet browser. Inventory management users can make re-supply
decisions on accurate, current data.
System is NOT SMS-based, and therefore can handle many commodities with built-in data quality.
The software can be used wherever there is cell phone service (for data entry) and internet service
(for data management).

training costs, and a user subscription fee. These depend on the number of people that will use the

India, Liberia, and DR Congo.
